Security bug in zlib

CNet says that there’s a security bug in zlib 1.2.2. There’s no exploit yet, but since everything uses zlib, this will probably turn into a problem for those who don’t upgrade to 1.2.3 once it becomes available.

Since libpng and OpenSSL both use zlib, we’re going to see a lot of network-based programs with issues.
